## ZODIAX Direct3D - a new shareware-game from DIGITAL Nightmares

Zodiax is an action-packed classical action-shooter in three dimensions. The player with his spacecraft is flying through space from planet to planet. Many different enemies engage him in combats. He has to survive and to destroy even the big enemy-bosses at the end of every level.

Blast away as many enemies as you can ...

Your voyage goes from earth over various planets to the bad aliens homeworld. Desert, Ice and Fireworlds have to be freed.

Hundrets of different enemies have only one thing in mind: to stop you!

Requirements:

The game needs Windows 95 or 98, Direct X 5.0 or better, 16bit-SVGA and 3d-hardware!

If you have problems with crashes or pixel-errors please try to get better drivers for your 3d-hardware.
Make sure you have 3d-hardware. Tested with nVidia RIVA 128/TNT, 3DFX Voodoo/Rush, Rendition V2200.

Attention: This game has no software-mode. Hardware acceleration for Direct 3D is required.

The limitations of this first demo:

- Only one of the space-levels as the only level to play (which are not the 'real mission-levels' of the game - more a bonus).
- No Load/Save.
- No Movies/Pics to illustrate the story of the game.
- Very limited sound-effects
- No music.
- Development-version of the game (running somewhat slower but more stable at the moment).

Control:

Game:

- Cursorkeys: move your spacecraft
- SPACE: fire
- ALT: smartbomb (if you have one)
- ESC: Abort

Menu:

- Cursor Up/Down: move selection
- SPACE, Enter: select

This game is not ALT-TABable, so avoid to press ALT-TAB or one of the special windows-keys.
